publishing entries and template url

I have an article template that lists entries in the articles channel.
```
{exp:channel:entries channel="article"}
     <h2><a href="http://{path=article/{url_title}}">{title}</a></h2>
<p>     {excerpt}<br />
{/exp:channel:entries}
```
When I click on the link to read a full version of the article it redirects me back to the site index or homepage. I can’t seem to understand how to fix this issue. It should bring me to mysite.com/index.php/article/my_article_title, which shows the entry. I want to use only one template, the article template.

It seems like you will want to use a conditional statement to utlize one template for the index and view page. I didn’t check this code but here is my suggestion.

{if segment_2}
  // full article
  {exp:channel:entries channel="article" url_title='{segment_2}'}
       <h2><a href="{path='article/{url_title}'}">{title}</a></h2>
<p>       {excerpt}<br />
  {/exp:channel:entries}  <br />
 {if:else}<br />
  // index of articles<br />
  {exp:channel:entries channel="article"}<br />
       </p><h2><a href="{path='article/{url_title}'}">{title}</a></h2>
<p>       {excerpt}<br />
  {/exp:channel:entries} <br />
 {/if}

This is article template, where I want a listing of articles and when someone clicks an article it reuses the template showing the entry. Can’t get it to work yet. When clicking the link, the url is correct. However, it displays the sites index page or homepage content instead of the entry.

<body>
    <div class="container">
       <div class="span-15 prepend-1 colborder">

  {if segment_2 ==""}
     // index of articles
     {exp:channel:entries channel="article"}
         <h2><a href="http://{path=article/{url_title}}">{title}</a></h2>
<p>           {excerpt}<br />
     {/exp:channel:entries} <br />
   {if segment_2 !=''}}<br />
     // full article<br />
     {exp:channel:entries channel="article" url_title='{segment_2}'}<br />
          </p><h2><a href="http://{path=article/{url_title}}">{title}</a></h2>
<p>           {body}<br />
     {/exp:channel:entries}<br />
   {/if}   </p>



<p> </div><br />
    </div><br />
  </body>

Not sure what I did, but it works properly now.

<body>
    <div class="container">
       <div class="span-15 prepend-1 colborder">

  {if segment_2 ==""}
     // index of articles
    {exp:channel:entries channel="article"}
         <h2><a href="http://{path=article/{url_title}}">{title}</a></h2>
<p>           {excerpt}<br />
     {/exp:channel:entries} <br />
  {/if}<br />
   {if segment_2 !=""}<br />
     // full article<br />
     {exp:channel:entries channel="article"}<br />
          </p><h2><a href="http://{path=article/{url_title}}">{title}</a></h2>
<p>           {body}<br />
     {/exp:channel:entries}<br />
   {/if}</p>



<p> </div><br />
    </div><br />
  </body>
